Cambridge School Shakespeare

Act 1

Scene 1

Marcellus和Bernado已两次看到幽灵。Horatio不相信他们，但是哈姆雷特的父亲的幽灵出现时，他害怕而惊讶。

Bernardo. Welcome, Horatio. Welcome, good Marcellus.
Marcellus. What, has this thing appear'd again to-night?
Bernardo. I have seen nothing.
Marcellus. Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen of us.
Therefore I have entreated him along,
With us to watch the minutes of this night,
That, if again this apparition come,
He may approve our eyes and speak to it.
Horatio. Tush, tush, 'twill not appear.

Bernardo. Sit down awhile,
And let us once again assail your ears,
That are so fortified against our story,
What we two nights have seen.
Horatio. Well, sit we down,
And let us hear Bernardo speak of this.
Bernardo. Last night of all,
When yond same star that's westward from the pole
Had made his course t' illume that part of heaven
Where now it burns, Marcellus and myself,
The bell then beating one-

Enter Ghost.

Bernardo. In the same figure, like the King that's dead.
Marcellus. Thou art a scholar; speak to it, Horatio.
Bernardo. Looks it not like the King? Mark it, Horatio.
Horatio. Most like. It harrows me with fear and wonder.
Bernardo. It would be spoke to.
Marcellus. Question it, Horatio.
Horatio. What art thou that usurp'st this time of night
Together with that fair and warlike form
In which the majesty of buried Denmark
Did sometimes march? By heaven I charge thee speak!
Marcellus. It is offended.
Bernardo. See, it stalks away!
Horatio. Stay! Speak, speak! I charge thee speak!

Exit Ghost.

练习 writing
Enter Ghost - 死去的国王哈姆雷特的入场
哈姆雷特死去的父亲的入场是剧场里一个扣人心弦的时刻。每次新的排演都在努力让这个进场尽可能激动人心，过目难忘。讨论以下主题，并写下相关笔记：

1. 幽灵看起来是什么样？Horatio给出一些线索：

Together with that fair and warlike form
In which the majesty of buried Denmark
Did sometimes march? By heaven I charge thee speak!

buried Denmark : the dead King Hamlet
pole: pole star (North Star)

参考1

2.幽灵该如何入场？缓慢地还是突然地？从什么位置入场？讨论出场时是否应该用手势，或者可能使用的音效，和离场的方式。

3.有时幽灵入场时会敲钟，如果你是导演的话，你会敲吗？说出敲或者不敲的原因。

4.有些演出中，幽灵的实体不出现。观众需要通过灯光，音效和角色的反应来想想幽灵的在场。你认为这种表现方式会在多大程度上有效？你也会这么做吗？
